You are correct that most visual processes, especially writing, move from top 
to bottom. Having the stack grow from bottom to top is part of the "techie" 
nature of darktable.

I think it may be reasonable to add an option to flip the visual order 
(so not completely free reordering, just a boolean top-to-bottom 
('page-order') or bottom-up ('stack-like') display choice). My 
reasoning is that in Western writing systems, we read and write from 
top to bottom. I understand that the pipeline is also called a 
'stack', and the 'last' element on the stack means 'the most recently 
pushed one', and it's at the top. But, I guess, for many users, a 
presentation where the last element of the history is at the bottom; 
where one of the the first modules to apply (such as exposure) appears 
near the top of the page, not near the bottom; where the pipeline, in 
execution order, is displayed top-to-bottom, is a very logical 
expectation.
